  • Watching an Attenborough thing with the p's tonight.

    My old man is a conservative (staunchly votes libs nats he's a doc, man of science).. was basically about climate / ecological collapse, shit is grim (and it didn't hit the sides).

    "Bottom, you should get the word out, your generation needs to do this'.

    Pointed out he'd been voting for cunts bringing coal into parliament..

    It. did. not. end. well.

    I am just going to leave the room next time a bit more quietly with less colourful language when these issues come up.

    • I've stopped worrying about climate change, or at least stopped arguing.

      When stuff needs to happen for national security reasons the government will force change, and when too much money is lost to disaster payouts insurance companies will force change.

      It might not happen soon enough but it will happen.

    • I could hear your dad's statement in that exact Kew grandpa voice. I would also advise quietly leaving next time...

  • The subwoofer is in! Didn't damage anything (more).

    I wasn't able to really use it back home because it was too much.

    Forgot how loud it was. Which brings us to yet another rave choooon

    Bit of a Balancing Act moving it around so happy that's over. All I need to do now is sand and paint the filled bit of wall I fucked and all will be okay.

      Hang a picture over it. Shit plaster looks way better behind a picture.

  • Went out earlier to take advantage of the sun and break down the box the couch came in for the yellow bin.
    Five minutes later ... 🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️

    • I got home a bit late and am hoping I can get even just 30 minutes of my towels drying outside. Not much chance of doing it next week so today was my best shot, it's probably the one thing it would be nice to have a dryer for.

  • Today was a good test of my new headlight bulbs. They were appropriately glowy. Unlike the old ones, which seemed very dim even before one of them died prematurely.

  • My head is still in pain after having coffee and food and lots of water. Have attempted the Nurofen. Going out for dinner and hope this clears soon.

    ... Actually I can think of one reason why my headache didn't improve, I had to navigate Sydney Rd traffic and find parking. That can go get absolutely fucked

    I really curse this radial transport network that requires me to go into town to head out again, because I would've gladly gone on a tram if it didn't take over an hour in total each way

  • I’ve achieved nothing so far today except having the best sleep I’ve had all week, which should hopefully help my stupid illness go away sooner. My voice is gone from all the dry coughing. I remembered I have cough syrup from previous sickness and that seems to be helping.

  • The last bit of healing from the breakup is self-forgiveness. The relationship ended and he blocked me everywhere because I sent him a message that was childish and kind of rude l. In hindsight, I was anxiously attached and codependent, and even the tiniest bit of distance sent me on a worry frenzy. That was combined with things in the relationship that made me feel like he didn't care, like telling me I should be sending good quality memes when I sent him virtual flowers lol.

    I obviously know better now and vow to never act batshit crazy again, but the embarrassment and shame just cause me to spiral a bit when I'm feeling down. I just dwell on shit a bit too much.

    • These feelings will eventually diminish down into a light cringe moment. We all have acted ridiculous at times, and I can vouch I have acted batshit insane before. And the memories hurt because, we're not really like that, and it triggers other memories and feelings and events. But it will eventually become another faded memory to make you cringe in the night and giggle about to friends at brunch.

      We get silly and serious and we fall in and out of love, fickle and fully invested. We send memes and lovey gifs, we profess our love and ask for reciprocation. We're just human, and we've been batshit crazy since we were messing around the fertile crescent. Cringe, but take solace in the knowledge that you are an amazing human doing amazing things. Put to rest any feelings of shame. You are beautiful and are doing great!

    • so many hugs

  • Marshall Tucker Band - Can't you see....

    How can three chords over and over sound so good?

    • oh wow, thanks, I have not heard that in decades 💓🎶🎵

    • That song is the epitome of the sunny 70s American vibe. Yacht Rock. Left Coast 70s on SomaFM.

      • SomaFm.....! Right on. I've not ever come across another listener. Left Coast 70s is a great vibe, but it seems like one of the few stations that has a smaller playlist, I hear the same songs regularly, but maybe there's just not a huge amount of Yacht Rock out there... Groove Salad has been my background soundtrack for probably 10 years, and I've got a running playlist made up from it. For doing jigsaw puzzles I like to put on Mission Control. For weekend mornings in the house with the family my go to is Boot Liquor. Also trying to introduce my 10 year old to an alternative to Taylor Swift through Lush

        And for afternoon naps - Drone Zone

        Sorry for all the links, but SomaFm is quite probably the best free listener supported radio there is....

        all their stations

  • Ok, dinner is pho at 6:30/7 but I REALLY want it NOW because my entire being is craving brothy noodles. Succulent brothy noodles. Hope one of the joints on Vic st can match the vego pho at Pho Victoria in North Melbourne. Holy shit was that good.
